From Shanghai: Wuzhen Water Town Dongzha & Xizha Guided Tour with Round-Trip Transfers

Leave Shanghai
for Wuzhen Water Town

Meet your guide in the hotel lobby and board an air-conditioned vehicle. Leave Shanghai's high-rise skyline behind and watch the green countryside of the Jiangnan region unfold during the roughly 2-hour drive to Wuzhen.

See the Gaogan boat show and
indigo dyeing workshop in Dongzha

In Wuzhen's Dongzha area, explore streets lined with local artisans' workshops with your guide. Photograph the acrobatic Gaogan pole-climbing boat show on the canal and stand beneath rows of freshly dyed indigo fabric at the dyeing workshop.

Then enjoy free time for lunch, for example at a riverside restaurant. Try local dishes such as hong shao rou (braised pork) or handmade noodles.

Wander Xizha's soy sauce workshop and water market

After lunch, transfer by vehicle to Xizha, Wuzhen's western scenic area. Visit a historic soy sauce workshop and a lively water market, and take photos on old stone bridges as the afternoon sun lights up the waterways.

End the day with
lantern-lit canals

As night falls, traditional lanterns light up the dark canals and transform the town. Spend free time sipping tea by the river or shopping for souvenirs, then relax on the drive back to Shanghai.
